Statement of Investor Rights

CFA Society Nigeria launched the Statement of Investor Rights in Nigeria during its “Putting Investors First Day” in May 2014.

CFA Institute developed the Statement of Investor Rights to advise buyers of financial service products of the conduct they are entitled to expect from financial service providers. These rights reflect the fundamental ethical principles that are critical to achieving confidence and trust in any professional relationship. The list applies to financial products and services, such as investment management, research and advice, personal banking, insurance, and real estate. Whether you are establishing an investment plan, working with a broker, opening a bank account, or buying a home, the Statement of Investor Rights is a tool to help you get the information you need and the service you expect and deserve. Demanding that financial professionals abide by these rights helps you build trust in the person or firm you engage with, and thereby collectively restore trust, respect, and integrity in finance.
